Katherine Waterston

I thought acting was what grownups did. It was such a part of my childhood. I was already in love with performing before I knew there were other options. By then, it was too late.

I feel like people assume if a character is very different than you, that means it's difficult to get into their head or into their skin.

Costume design is so important and really helpful, and I really love that aspect of character development, just figuring it out.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.

I don't think they're going to pay me to play Mufasa.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.
